Why in the f*ck would you go into the ocean, on a surfboard, & look like a floating seal to a shark

So the researchers designed an artificial vision system based on what they think juvenile shark vision is like and it can't make the distinction between seals and humans? Nope, no flaws there.

You might want to read your article again. No where in it does it reference colors other than sharks being color blind. Color blind does not mean that they can't tell that black and white are very different.
I already read it once.
No need to read it again.
I only posted it because it provided information for us/we to read on this board.
Did I imply anything else? I don't think so.
You might want to go rewrite/redo/edit your response sir.
Thank you!
These vespers I have seen floating off in certain trees, usually pretty high, and with the invasion of all those goophy red blue and black ones that apparently slime the crops, they are waging there own war on Total cereal, they should be eaten by the hooties and beez of the season. Anyway, these vespers were being late fall season aggressive banging around towards the outside lights. With a big cup a water and a little soap and a little bit a shoe polish U can take one down with a sladpsh brother, I reckon. Just dont bury em in that theyah Indian burial grahnd.

to clarify some of this. it really depends where and what you are doing. A bull shark and a white shark are two totally different sharks and hunt completely different. A floating surfer will look like a seal to a white shark, a sea turtle to a tiger and nothing of interest to a bull shark. a bare foot or dangling hand will look like something of interest to a bull. A moving surfer will almost look like a bait ball from underneath to any shark. Bright shiny bracelets will attract almost anything especially cuda while chilling just off the beach. My point is you are in their environment and as such need to be conscience of that and have situational awareness to what you are doing and what can be and is around you. I just spend day at guadalupe island again with white sharks and not once did I see a white just come from the deep and hit the bait. they inspected it 2 or 3 and sometimes even more before making a run at it. I sure its the same with a surfer but unfortunately when they finally decide to test bite, human skin is ZERO match for a sharks teeth.
It depends.on where you are and when.below?

How F*cking stupid can you be??
Truely, the possibility of this happening was very real and the guy brought it upon himself.
Stupidity folks!
If you're in his feeding zone at the wrong times and places they're hungry. I made enough dumb mistakes before I became an experienced diver and snorkeler. Even used to swim into bait balls before an old timer told me I was a jackass.
No, you're just more of a daredevil than a normal person!
Merry Christmas my friend!
Merry Christmas as well. There's an old sailors saying, "When you go into the water, everything for miles around has you sized up for what you are".
Were they wary? Or was I just stupid?
Let's go with "lucky"
You were lucky.
But, just like at a casino, don't push your luck.

The boogie-boarder was wearing fins & a wet suit when attacked!
Gee, I wonder what the shark thought he was: looking up at him from the deep?
The picture shown explains it perfectly.
Don't be like this boogie-boarder.
Stay safe folks!
Let up on Glov, as long as he has 🦈, 🐻, and alligators 🐊 to keep him occupied he doesn’t foolishly dwell on any of those actresses that he’s convinced are pining for him.
I'm bored & No hockey games for most NHL teams! I'm going mad I tell ya!!!
I'm stuck in the official 'dead period' between Christmas and New Years sir!
I'm telling ya Elizabeth told me she'd be baking cookies Christmas Eve with her Grandma!
She lied to me.
Just for that, I'm dumping her for Paulina Porizkova!!!
I don't think I'll miss her all that much!
Are you so bigoted that you object to sharks 🦈 swimming on public streets? As long as their not speeding or parking illegally what’s the problem? What’s next “No Sharks Allowed” signs at aquatic events?
I did hear that ,.....that shark is hanging out at Long John Silver's for FISH & Chips! parking lot flooded of course!!
Less people died in the ocean rather than on land. That’s why I stay entirely in the ocean. Too risky otherwise.
If only he stayed ON the water…..but no, he has to go IN the water!
So this thread is so deep and long I couldn't get through it and I am sure this may have been covered but........
I lived oceanfront for 4 years of my life.
You have a significantly higher chance of getting eaten by a shark if you swim in the ocean often (like a couple times a week), specifically in areas that have elevated shark populations. Your odds come down to the lightning strike numbers if you are a person who doesn't live at the ocean and dips their toes in it 5 times for 15 minutes on that once a year vacation to the beach. Taking a daily swim at New Smyrna Beach is a lot different than swimming at Rehoboth Beach. Your odds are vastly different and vary based on how often you expose yourself to it.
Additionally, like most people, when there is lightning storm most people find shelter in their vehicle, home or building lowering their odds of being struck but for some dude who goes outside and stands in the middle of the storm every tie there is one, his odds are greatly increased to get struck by lightning.
The odds don't tell the story, often like statistics don't.

All perhaps very true BUT if you stay out of the water, when you look like a surface floating seal when a shark is hungry, you have ZERO chances of being attacked by a shark.
